Women Playing Music by Women is a mixture of romantic and contemporary character pieces and sonatas written by composers of Spanish, French, Norwegian, American, Polish and Czech heritages. The American works represent African-American and Jewish-American influences. The disc features nine compositions, including four world premiere recordings from contemporary composers Elisenda Fábregas and Emma Lou Diemer, and by early 20th-century composers Anna Priscilla Risher and Signe Lund. Other composers included are Grazyna Bacewicz, Florence Price, Meira Warshauer, Pauline Viardot-Garcia, and Vítezslava Kaprálová. The compositions are expertly and expressively performed by Laura Kobayashi (Fairfax, Virginia), violin, and Susan Keith Gray (University of South Dakota), piano.
